Rex at the Royal

Tonight was the first time I’ve ever eaten here, and I must say, it was PHENOMENAL! I had the bone in pork chop and braised green! My daughter had the crawfish pot pie, and my friend had the shrimp and grits! Everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned well! I also ordered the Hurricane (drink) and it was delicious! I will definitely be back before I leave town!

What a wonderful culinary experience! It started off with being greeted by a beautiful peacock on the door and only went up from there. The hostess/host were gracious and accomdating as we added a 7th person to our reservation in the 11th hour and ran 15 minutes late. The ambiance and decor of Rex at the Royal is perfect for date night or a grown and sexy dinner. The food and drinks are beyond delicious. They serve large portions and all 7 people at our table required to go boxes. Kudos to the waitstaff! Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend treating yourself to this South St. gem.

Awesome! The evening began with a kind and gracious host. We were seated promptly and quickly greeted by server. The cocktail list matched the aesthetic perfectly. The drinks were pretty and tasty. The crab dip and pretzels were delicious. The crab dip was mostly crab with a delicate balance of cheese. The pretzels were warm, soft and paired well. The crab dip was ample enough for additional pretzels which is rare. The crawfish pot pie was pure heaven. A great balance of ingredients and the crust was flaky. Again the portion was substantial. I actually had the pot pie as my entree and couldn’t finish it. The shrimp and grits was tasty but not outstanding. As a city girl that frequents Charleston and other southern destinations I was not overly impressed, but it held its own. The finale was the banana pudding cheesecake. Let me start by saying I typically do not eat banana pudding because it typically tastes so artificial and over sweetened. But take my word and try their cheesecake ver
